<p>This code negatives the return value of a compareTo or compare method. This is a questionable or bad 
programming practice, since if the return value is Integer.MIN_VALUE, negating the return value won't 
negate the sign of the result. You can achieve the same intended result by reversing the order of the 
operands rather than by negating the results.</p>
